"We have them do the pest control around the house (outside).  They came and spray everywhere outside of the property.  We have an annual contract with them.  They will come every quarter.  We like them because they claimed they use eco friendly pesticide.  No complain as of yet.  They used the internet to sent us the receipt and what service they did.

"I was in desperate need of some help and answers to my pest problems. This was the first & only Pro that contacted me. While I didn't technically hire them, they were very professional and responded quickly to my project request. The project was quoted at $200, but I was only charged $50 for a down payment and inspection. While I may still be baffled at how I got a small invasion of pesky flies, the Pro was excellent at communicating with me and still offered their services in my time of need."

"Pacific Coast did this most thorough inspection of the three companies I dealt with. All three companies had a different approach to termite control. One was to do a cursory inspection and offer what is essentially an insurance policy. Another did a better inspection and offered spot treatment and a 3 year warranty. Pacific Coast did a thorough inspection and offered either spot treatments to the obviously infested areas or comprehensive preventative maintenance treatment in addition to the spot treatments. The cost is more expensive than the other companies but the employees inspire confidence in their work."

"Hi Tech was very professional in their inspection, bid and termite control. We had 3 inspection/estimates (the two other big names in the industry). Hi Tech was just much more professional and very competitive in pricing. Would definitely hire again."

Chad Dresser, Licensed Inspector Fr42111:

On July 12, 2014, Mr. Chad Dresser arrived at our home at the appointed time.  He was well-dressed, well-spoken, very knowledgeable, and professional.  We were renewing our contract with Pacific Coast Termites, and Chad spent a couple of hours inspecting the whole house, the outlying areas, 3 attics, and under the house.  He did find an infestation of termites in our “tower attic” in several places. He was up in the attic about 30 minutes, drilling, filling, and killing!  There is no odor and no harm to pets and people from their “Orange Oil” treatment.  Chad then spent considerable time with his shop vacuum up in the attic –and it’s never been so clean.  He carefully inspected our entire property – no rushing at all.  He found no other areas of termite activity. Before he left for other calls, he suggested that we contact him again in about 4 months for a follow-up check of our tower attic.  He wants to be sure the infestation is controlled.

We’ve had Pacific Coast Termites as our home protectors for a number of years. All of the inspectors have been outstanding. When they return due to an episode of “swarming”, usually in the fall, but at other times as well, they’ve sent out someone in good time to deal with the problem and at no further expense to us due to our contract.  They are very responsive to our needs, and we will continue to renew with Pacific Coast Termites.  We highly recommend them to all homeowners who reside in “termite country”.  You can always move to Alaska to escape termites, but we love Southern California!!

"We chose the right professional for the task. Interviewed several licensed pest control operators on site. Pest Busters performed excellent assessment of our areas of concern, mapped out a plan and understood the level of service needed for our price points. Upon the agreed terms, their team set to work cleaning, setting traps and sealed possible entry openings. Two weeks after the initial work, they returned to evaluate whether their measures were effective."

"After smelling something dead, on a Friday morning, I contact 5 places and no one would commit to do the work. My husband found ATCO by searching the web. We talked to them on the phone and David from ATCO Pest Control was the one that serves us. He came on time and explain upfront all the terms and what he was going to do. Then, he went underneath the house, (not an easy thing to do because everything is narrowed), and located a dead rat near the heat vents. He also located the points of the entrance where they come. He placed several traps. Then, explain the post-work we will have to do in the near future. He acted very professionally and, we are very please with his work."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The Mediterranean climate in San Rafael, with its mild, wet winters and dry summers, influences pest control strategies year-round. Spring moisture often triggers termite swarms, while summer heat increases ant and wasp activity. Rodents seek shelter indoors during fall rains, and cockroach sightings rise in winter. Adapting pest control methods to these seasonal trends helps homeowners stay ahead of local pest pressures.

Helpful?

For pest control in San Rafael, consider using gel baits for ants and cockroaches, and granular baits for outdoor pests, which are widely available at local hardware stores. Diatomaceous earth and boric acid are effective for cracks and crevices, especially in older San Rafael homes. Exclusion materials like steel wool and caulk help prevent rodent entry, and essential oil-based sprays are popular for eco-friendly pest management in the region's mild climate.

Helpful?

In San Rafael, commercial pest control providers must be licensed by the Structural Pest Control Board, and certain pesticide applications require notification to the Marin County Agricultural Commissioner. For real estate transactions, a wood-destroying pest inspection report is often required. Food service businesses may also need approval from the San Rafael Department of Environmental Health before treatment, so always check with these authorities before starting pest control work.

Helpful?

DIY pest control in San Rafael offers flexibility and immediate response, but may not address underlying issues unique to the area, such as persistent termite or rodent problems. Hiring a licensed local professional, as recommended by the Structural Pest Control Board, ensures expertise, access to advanced materials, and compliance with city regulations. For recurring or complex infestations, professional services provide more reliable, long-term results for homeowners.

Helpful?

Homeowners in San Rafael may encounter extra costs such as repairing termite-damaged wood, sealing foundation gaps, or cleaning attics after rodent infestations. Additional expenses can include follow-up inspections, landscape modifications to reduce harborage, and obtaining permits from the city or county. Severe infestations might require repeat treatments or temporary relocation, so it's wise to consult with local pest control professionals for a thorough assessment.
